Beach of Via dei Bagni: The Most Beautiful View on the Heart of Procida
If the beach of Chiaia is the most famous of the central slope, the Beach of Via dei Bagni is his best kept secret. These two sandy pearls share the same crystalline water mirror, but Via dei Bagni offers an intimacy and a visual perspective that will make you feel inside a painting.
Reachable through a wide range grades, this bay is the ideal destination for those looking for the beauty of the Corricella without sacrificing the comfort of a central beach.
A Crib on the Sea: Corricella and Terra Murata
The real strength of the Beach of Via dei Bagni is the panorama. From here, the village of Corridor and the height of Walled Land appear even more majestic and close. The coloured houses are perfectly placed between the rock and the sea, giving a frontal view that precisely exceeds that of the nearby Chiaia.
While naked in base very low (perfect to make children play in total safety), you will have in front of you the endless blue of the sea and behind an imposing rock rib on which arise some of the most fascinating houses of island architecture.
The Passage between Vulcan Masses
One of the most popular features of this beach is its natural "connection" with Chiaia. The two bays are bound by a series of mass of volcanic origin: a natural and easily accessible path that allows you to change the beach in a few minutes, exploring every corner of this creek protected by winds.
The Sun Hours: Enjoy the Morning
Just like its "sister", also the beach of Via dei Bagni is a perfect destination for the mornings.
- The Morning: The sun comes soon, towards the 8:00 in the middle of summer, immediately heating the characteristic dark sand.
- The afternoon: On this beach the sun does not set. Due to the high rocky rib, the shadow already arrives towards the 16:00 in the afternoon. But it is important to note that here the sun lasts slightly longer than the Chiaia, making it ideal for those who want to squeeze every minute of light.
Establishments and Services
The beach of Via dei Bagni offers an excellent balance between nature and services:
- Free Beach: Spacious spaces for those who love direct contact with the nature and freedom of their umbrella.
- Comfort: There is one seaside resort with bar, ideal for a stay in full comfort, between sunbeds, umbrellas and the possibility to consume a quick snack sea view.
